Nasa sending helicopter to Mars?

Title says it all really. In 2020 Nasa are planning to send a helicopter to Mars. Because of the difference in the planet it's a pretty big deal, like it has to be more than twice as strong as it would be on earth.

The weather on Mars is fairly tame. From what I've seen, they want a drone more than a helicopter. Which makes sense. They can cover far more ground than a rover can. Can't quite carry as many experiments though...
